Chapter 737 The Woman in the Oil Basket Grave
"Auntie, have you seen a mother and son carrying a chamber pot pass by here?" Mr. Fu asked, pulling an old woman who had just burned incense from Yu Ji Temple.
"Let's go to the forest behind, it should be there. It's not a few years before I can get here." Before Mr. Fu could speak, the old woman staggered, despairing, despairing.
Mr. Fu became more and more confused. How could this beautiful Yu Ji Temple become a fierce place? Is it really so evil here?
The two tied their horses to a big locust tree in front of Yu Ji Temple, and then walked into a green forest from a path that was in a discernible direction on the right side of the temple gate. There was a clamping path more than 10 meter wide in the middle. Following the clamping path for more than twenty steps, the graves and stele forests were covered with grey and white soul-summoning banners were inserted on the newly added soil. Occasionally, a few buzzing screams came from a few whimpering sounds. Although it was just after noon, I still felt the gust of wind in it, making people stand up and my hair stands up. Young Master Fu hesitated whether he should continue to search. He accidentally entered such a ghost creature, which made him feel a little regretful.
"Will there be anything dirty here?"
"Why would I tell you a story?"
"Is it scary?"
"What do you think?"
"Then stop talking, I feel so angry now."
Regardless of whether the other party agreed or not, Yan Qing began to speak to himself: "By the way, there were five rat monsters in Tokyo this year. They were huge. They not only came out to eat people at night, but also pretended to be emperors to go to court. Think about it, five more emperors came out this night, so wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
"Nonsense, I..." Mr. Fu suddenly felt awkward. Seeing Yan Qing staring at him suspiciously, he quickly continued to say, "I have been in Tokyo for so many years, but there has never been such a strange thing you said."
"Does it have to be something after birth? There are so many strange stories you have never heard of in the world. Don't interrupt me, listen carefully to me."
Young Master Fu stuck out his tongue at him and continued to listen to him.
"These five giant rats made the entire capital city of Kaifeng panic, so the emperor secretly summoned all the ministers to discuss countermeasures, and the ministers were speechless. The emperor had to discuss it again. After going to court, one of the ministers was depressed. He walked to a restaurant and smelled the fragrance of meat and vegetables. He suddenly remembered something. So he picked up a few fragrant meals in the restaurant and went straight to the ancestral grave at home."
"What's next?" Mr. Fu seemed to be stoked by Yan Qing's story.
"Guess."
"Has he asked his deceased ancestors for advice?"
"Who said that the person living in the tomb must be dead?"
"Are you lied to the ghost? Is the grave built for living people?"
"The tomb in my story really gave this living person a while."
Mr. Fu seemed to hear the smell of Yan Qing's story and hurriedly urged: "Don't keep it aside, keep talking."
"When this minister arrived at the cemetery, it was as gloomy everywhere. Next to the grave of grandpa, a dark and faint hole was dug, and a yellow light as big as a bean was revealed. The moment he saw the minister, a voice that seemed not a living person shouted, "Boy, are you here? Dad has been waiting for you below for a long time."
Mr. Fu was scared to the point of being pale, his white hands pressed on his chest, and his breathing became disordered. If he hadn't seen Yan Qing's increasingly confused gaze, he would have been scattered and retreated long ago, muttering, "Stop talking, stop talking, scare me to death."
"A big man is so scared that I'm not finished yet."
"There is still something?"
"Who said this is a ghost story?" Yan Qing stared at the other party contemptuously and continued to preach: "This minister used a rope prepared in advance to lay down the trunk full of food first, and then tied it to the tombstone next to it, and slipped into the black hole. There was only a bamboo basket inside, which contained some oil, so this thing was also called an oil basket. The green lamp I just saw on it was this oil basket lamp. Next to the oil basket lamp, there was a thin and pale old man, perhaps because he was used to the darkness. When his son landed on the ground, he seemed to have something unspeakable, so he asked him if he had encountered something unpleasant, maybe
He said that he could help him to advise. Anyway, his son had nothing to do, so he simply told him about the daytime discussion about the five rats making trouble in Tokyo. Unexpectedly, his father, who stepped into the gate of hell, really thought of a solution. His father said, "This is easy. Eight pounds of cats can capture a thousand pounds of rats. You can weigh a few pounds of cats in our family. It is probably the same. His son went home to weigh seven and a half pounds of pounds, which was only half a pound. So he fed half a pound of fish again, which was exactly eight pounds. The next day he went to court, and he put the cat in his sleeve. The six emperors had just sat down. The loyal minister put the cat in his sleeve and indeed caught all five rats, pressing one under his claws and holding one in his mouth."
Mr. Fu clapped his hands and praised him repeatedly, but he still didn't understand one thing: "The minister's father lives well, why do you live in the grave?"
"The emperor asked him to live in."
Only then did Mr. Fu remember a bad habit that many years ago. When the old man lived to the age of sixty, he sent him to the repaired grave and only sent him a hundred days of food. The old man finally starved to death. This shaft with a small mouth and a large bottom was called the oil basket grave. Unexpectedly, this prodigal son Qing was cursing around the bush. This bad habit had long been abolished. Isn't this throwing dirty water on the emperor? He was about to tell a few words, but a sad farewell came from a distance: "Mom, I'm leaving, I'll see you tomorrow, I'll keep that room pot, and you can use it the next day. If you can't afford the oil basket at home, you can only feel wronged." The man put a square brick at the entrance of the cave and left with tears in his eyes.
Only then did Mr. Fu understand the real purpose of this chamber pot, and his stomach couldn't help but swell upside down. Fortunately, I didn't eat too much, and it wasn't so uncomfortable. Yan Qing next to me seemed to be used to it.
"We'll go and rescue her now."
"But..."
"There are not so many, but if I haven't encountered this, I will naturally think that it has never happened. Since I have bumped into it, I will have to take care of it. Go to the temple to find out if there is any suitable rope? It's really inappropriate. Unlock the reins on the horse, we connect it into a bunch, and we pull the aunt up."
"What about you?"
"I went to explore the location of the hole. A woman was locked in such a claustrophobic environment. I was probably frightened. I went to cheer her up so that she would not be so sad."
"Young Master Fu, you are such a great person. If you are a woman, I will definitely marry you."
"Stop talking to me here. Go and do whatever you should do. I can't hold on here for long, go and go early and come back soon."
Yan Qing hurried to the gate of Yu Ji Temple where horses were slammed and found that there were a lot of people gathered there, but those who were surrounded by the big temple gate and wearing official uniforms were quite embarrassed. They were not upset and seemed to have run a long way, bent down and sighed, hammered their legs, lifted their hems and fanned their winds desperately, or took off their official hats to check on their messy and sweaty hair. Some important figures seemed to have come to the yard. The third floor of the inner and the third floor of the outer floor were full of guards holding knives and guns. Unpredictably, they saw Yan Qing, who was quite angry in the martial arts world. These people stared at his every move with caution, fearing that he would jump out to cause trouble.
Yan Qing looked into the temple curiously, but then scolded him: "What do you think? Is this a place where people like you can see? Is it so cool that I rested wherever I glared inside, and I dig out your two eyeballs to make wine."
"Ah, help."
Yan Qing's scalp tingled. Isn't this the young master Fu asking for help? Before he could run out, a strong figure rushed out of the temple gate, followed by his familiar master Lu Junyi. He stared at Yan Qing angrily, followed Prince Kai like wind, and Yan Qing, who was tilted his head, rushed out with a quick step.
"Roufu, where are you? I am my brother." Zhao Kai's strong and anxious shout pierced through the entire forest like a sharp arrow, but there was no echo around him. Zhao Kai's shouting became more and more urgent, and the situation was as usual. It seemed that there was no one else around except Zhao Kai and his group.
The authorities were fascinated by the authorities, and Yan Qing came to his senses. The young master Fu who likes to tease people was actually the emperor's most cherished golden branches and jade leaves, and he was the younger sister of Prince Kai. At this moment, she lost it from her side. Wouldn't she have caused a huge disaster? Yan Qing felt like she fell into an ice cellar, and her whole body was cold and kept swaying, and her figure almost fainted.
"Send someone to surround this ten-mile radius, don't leave any suspicious guy here. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find Roufu." Prince Kai ordered the magistrate of Lingbi who had just approached. Although he didn't understand what happened, he saw Prince Kai's anxious appearance and knew that the matter was probably not small. Without saying a word, he raised the hem of the official uniform and rushed towards Yu Ji Temple without any life. Since he had a big deal today, he could not escape. He could only install Prince Kai's words as soon as possible to do it, try to save it and find the "roufu" mentioned by Prince Kai.
"The villain deserves to die. Yan Xiaoyi is the villain's follower. I am not strict in discipline. I am willing to accept any punishment from Prince Kai." Lu Junyi and Yan Qing knelt in front of Zhao Kai one after another. Lu Junyi looked as if he was willing to receive righteousness on behalf of Yan Qing, while Yan Qing was distracted.
"It's useless to say this now. My eyelids have been twitching all these days. I always feel that something bad will happen. I feel dazed when I rest. I have been having nightmares all the time. Who would have thought that this ignorant girl would follow me, and it's all my fault for spoiling her since I was a child. Can he, a weak woman, break into such a world? If I had discovered it earlier, this would not have happened today." Zhao Kai stared at Yan Qing next to him with swollen eyes and said majestic: "Roufu was thrown from your hands. I don't care what you use. I will give you ten days. I must find out for me, or find out who kidnapped her. I'll agree to everything here. I'll leave it to you.
I will leave a few capable helpers to help you. The Lingbi government officials will be assigned by you. As for your master, no matter what aspect, I need him to stay by my side. I hope you can understand. You also know that we cannot delay too much here. If you stay in Lingbi for one more day, Chengdu Prefecture may die a lot. I can't bear this responsibility and I can't get over the conscience. If you have time to bring Roufu with us in Jiangning, it's best to think about what the consequences will be. I know that you are doing things properly, but some mistakes cannot be made. This will pass the bottom line of one person. It's best not to make up for this lesson today. I hope you remember what I just said, work harder and give each other a way out."
Since Yan Qing and Prince Kai were opened from Kaifeng, they had never heard each other say such heavy words. When they saw Zhao Kai and his face looked approachable, they had happened such a shocking event and realized that Prince Yun, the nobleman in front of him, could not pee in the same pot as him, and the gap between them was there. Yan Qing kowtowed like pounding garlic, and his head was swollen. When he heard Zhao Kai leave with his master, he only slightly heard his master sigh helplessly.
After Zhao Kai and his party left, Yan Qing and everyone almost searched through the cemetery behind Yu Ji Temple. The sun was slanted to the west, and a layer of miasma in the forest made the investigation less and less clues. The followers left by Yan Qing and Prince Kai returned to the "rest guest house" in Lingbi County when they had last gathered with Mr. Fu for the last time. They were sad about the scene, sad about the emotions, but the lonely man was still there, but the beauty was unknown.
"Several guests, what should I eat?" The shop came over to greet him diligently.
"We're waiting for the case to investigate what is fastest." One of the leaders named Zhao Meng in these entourage responded.
"This guest has a good official face."
"What are you talking about? Why don't you go and prepare?" Zhao Meng shouted impatiently.
Yan Qing, who was originally lost, suddenly had his eyes lit up and bounced up like a corpse from a bench, which scared Zhao Meng and his group. In front of everyone, Yan Qing pulled the shop's arm and asked nervously: "I have played against a beautiful young man in your shop today. Do you still have any impression?"
"Remember, remember, he had a meal here with a woman an hour ago. I was wondering why the young master was not by my side."
Yan Qing was so excited that he almost screamed. Even Zhang Meng and his group became like they were injected with chicken blood, and they almost ate their crowns.
The shop continued, "When the young man came to the store for the first time, he left a lot of rewards for the young man. When he came back to the store for the second time, he went up to ask the young man what he wanted to eat at night. But the evil woman next to him pushed me away and told me not to approach him. I was a runner-up, and then I realized that I had done a little too much and quickly apologized to the woman."
"Stop talking, talk about the key points." Zhang Meng slapped the table with a snap, and the bowls and chopsticks on it made a sound of springing, which scared the shop.
Yan Qing raised his hand and pressed Zhang Meng's shoulders, turned around and smiled, "Little brother, don't be as knowledgeable as this brother. He is so straightforward, he is not bad at speaking badly."
"I have seen many such fresh guests from all over the country, and I don't take them to my heart. By the way, the young master didn't say a word during the whole process of our store, but kept winking at me. Later, I accidentally saw him pointing a finger to the ground."
“Which table do they sit on?”
"That's the one." The shopkeeper pointed to a square table in the corner that was now empty.
